As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on August 5, 2012, in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, August 10, 2012. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.

RJ, It's an election year. When agent Brian Terry was murdered by the Mexican drug cartels with guns supplied by he and Eric Holder, no flags were lowered, no press conference was held, and no phone call was made to his family to express his deep sadness. And he is currently in Denver complaining that Moooochelle does not get paid for being first lady. Now wouldn't that be a slap in the face to all hard working women in America and all unemployed women to pay that &*%@# and pay for her multimillion dollar vacations too, of which she gets more than most employed people do?

• Where there American citizens killed simply because of their religion?......o yes• Would he have done the same thing had someone shot up a Baptist church?....o yes• Is it a tragedy that with any senseless killing that the first thing every one reaches for is their political play book?.....o yes – see gun control knee jerk after Aurora
